Chargers CB Jason Verrett, WR Mike Williams 'progressing well'

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn brought some welcome news to Chargers fans Tuesday, offering some hope for the future for two of the team’s most talented but injury-prone players.

“Good to see Jason Verrett out there today. He got more reps today. Mike Williams got more reps today. Those guys are progressing and doing just fine,” Lynn said during media availability Tuesday.

Verrett was one of the game’s premier cornerbacks before suffering knee injuries that have largely put him on the shelf over the past two seasons. In fact, Verrett has appeared in just a total of five games between 2016-17. But should he return to form the Bolts would boast scary depth in a secondary that already projects to be one of the game’s best without his presence.

Meanwhile, Williams was such a complete nonfactor after being selected No. 7 overall in the 2017 NFL draft that any news not related to an injury feels like a godsend for fans.

“Mike’s looked good. He looked good today. We’re purposefully holding him back, working him back in slowly. But if you listen to Mike, Mike’s ready to go,” Lynn added.
